[0039] The line status detection device includes a detection cylinder 4, which is cylindrical in shape.

The limiting component is used to limit and release the movement of the contact detection components. Even if the limiting component moves, it can limit and release the movement of the contact detection components so that the contact detection components can remain in contact with the line body during the rotation of the splitter disc 2.

[0040] The cables manufactured by this invention can be used in the manufacture of cables and wires in various intelligent power distribution systems and power distribution switch control equipment.

[0041] The surface insulation layer of the cable manufactured by this invention can be made of cross-linked polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride.

[0042] like Figures 2-7 As shown, in order to optimize the operation of the limiting component and the contact detection component, based on the above scheme, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the limiting component includes a control block 5, a guide bar 6, a threaded rod 7 and two or more pressing components.

One end of the force transmission rod 8 is rotatably connected to the control block 5, and the other end of the force transmission rod 8 is rotatably connected to the fixing strip 9. The fixing strip 9 is slidably connected to the detection cylinder 4.

[0044] The contact detection assembly includes a displacement element 10, an adjusting rod 17, and a roller assembly 20. The displacement element 10 is slidably connected to the detection cylinder 4. The adjusting rod 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove on the displacement element 10.

A touch strip 11 and a limiting block 13 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove. A linkage wheel 12 is rotatably connected to the touch strip 11.

A linkage channel 15 is opened on the limiting block 13. The linkage wheel 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the linkage channel 15.

[0046] By simply rotating the threaded rod 7, all the fixed bars 9 and all the adjusting rods 17 that have been adjusted to their positions can be limited, improving the ease of operation and reducing the number of adjustment steps.

[0047] like Figures 6-7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the limiting block 13 is provided with an elastic buffer portion, which allows the touch bar 11 to still have a certain range of motion after the limiting block 13 and the extension piece 16 come into contact.

[0048] like Figure 6As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a hand-tightening bolt 18 is threaded onto the adjusting rod 17, which can prevent other contact detection components that do not require detection from connecting to the circuit.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a nylon contact wheel is rotatably connected to the roller assembly 20. The nylon material can reduce damage to the wire, and the wheel structure can facilitate the movement of the wire.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the alarm device includes a photoelectric alarm, which employs existing technology, namely, it can emit both light and sound alarms simultaneously when powered on, alerting the operator from two dimensions.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the detection cylinder 4 is provided with a connecting component, which can be a connecting bolt or other existing connecting structure, for mounting the detection cylinder 4 on the distributor plate 2.

[0052] A method for using an intelligent cage winch based on a tension control system, comprising the following steps:

[0053] After the tension is finely adjusted by the tension fine-tuning control system 24, the wire passes through the branch hole 3, and the contact detection component and the branch hole 3 come into contact. Each branch hole 3 is only contacted by one contact detection component, so as to realize real-time detection of whether the wire is broken.

[0054] Working principle:

[0055] Assuming there are four branch holes 3, meaning there are four wires, and six wire status detection devices are installed on the detection cylinder 4.

[0056] The cage winding machine frame 1 is equipped with an existing wire distribution system. Each wire coming out of the wire distribution system abuts against a tension fine-tuning control system 24 and passes through a wire distribution hole 3. The tension fine-tuning control system 24 can fine-tune the tension of the wire. The tension fine-tuning control system 24 is implemented using existing technology, such as various tension adjustment devices that can fine-tune the tension. The tension adjustment device has a built-in intelligent tension sensor to realize the dual functions of detection and adjustment.

[0057] The following operation is performed on one of the line status detection devices: The operator controls the adjusting rod 17 to slide on the groove of the displacement member 10 to a suitable distance. Due to the sufficiently large sliding friction between the adjusting rod 17 and the inner wall of the groove, the adjusting rod 17 will remain in its current position without reversing, thereby adjusting the length of the line status detection device to fit the branch holes 3 at different distances from the center of the disc. The operator moves the roller assembly 20 by hand to compress the spring 19, slides the displacement member 10 to align the nylon contact wheel on the roller assembly 20 with the line body, and releases the roller assembly 20 to make the nylon contact wheel abut against the line body. At this time, the conductive sheet 21 does not abut against the two conductive contacts 22. Due to the sufficiently large sliding friction between the displacement member 10 and the detection cylinder 4, the displacement member 10 will remain in its current position, and the touch strip 11 extends to the outside of the displacement member 10.

[0058] For the other three line status detection devices, refer to the above operating method to make the other three nylon contact wheels come into contact with the other three lines respectively.

[0059] The following operations are performed on the remaining two line status detection devices: the operator moves the roller assembly 20 by hand to compress the spring 19, rotates the hand-tightening bolt 18 to extend the hand-tightening bolt 18 into the transmission cavity, and loosens the roller assembly 20. The conductive plate 21 and the hand-tightening bolt 18 abut against each other, that is, the hand-tightening bolt 18 limits the conductive plate 21 and the roller assembly 20 to prevent the conductive plate 21 and the conductive contact 22 from abutting against each other.

[0060] Rotating the threaded rod 7 causes the control block 5 to move along the guide bar 6 due to the threaded connection between the threaded rod 7 and the inner wall of the threaded hole on the control block 5. This, in turn, drives the fixed bar 9 to move towards the displacement member 10 via the force transmission rod 8. After the fixed bar 9 and the displacement member 10 come into contact, the fixed bar 9 presses and fixes the displacement member 10. The fixed bar 9 then pushes the touch bar 11 towards the groove. The linkage wheel 12 on the touch bar 11 slides within the linkage channel 15, causing the limiting block 13 to slide towards the extension piece 16. After the limiting block 13 comes into contact with the extension piece 16, the touch bar 11 continues to move a short distance, and the elastic buffer is slightly compressed, achieving a buffer-type fixing function. This allows the limiting block 13 to press and fix the extension piece 16. Based on the above principle, the displacement component 10 is prevented from shifting during the subsequent rotation of the dividing disc 2, thus affecting the detection of the breakage state of the thread. The adjusting rod 17 is also prevented from sliding on the groove during the rotation of the dividing disc 2, thus affecting the detection of the breakage state of the thread. Only the threaded rod 7 needs to be rotated to move the three fixed bars 9, thereby limiting all displacement components 10 and adjusting rods 17. This is convenient, quick, and improves production efficiency.

[0061] Turn on the battery switch to ensure the battery is always ready to connect to the circuit.

[0062] When the cage winch is working normally, the wire continuously passes through the branch hole 3, and the nylon contact wheel abuts against and rotates with the wire, allowing the wire to move smoothly.

[0063] When one of the wires breaks, the wire and one of the nylon contact wheels disengage. After the nylon contact wheel loses the restraint of the wire, the conductive plate 21 moves towards the conductive contact 22 under the elastic force of the spring 19. The conductive plate 21 and the two conductive contacts 22 come into contact, thereby connecting a circuit. The battery provides power to the alarm device and wireless module in the circuit. The photoelectric alarm of the alarm device emits a light alarm and a sound alarm, so that the operator can quickly know that a wire breakage event has occurred. The wireless module sends a signal to the control system on the cage winding machine frame 1. The control system quickly controls the cage winding machine to stop, preventing the wire core from scattering, protecting the work-in-process, and protecting the safety of nearby personnel.

[0064] By reversing the threaded rod 7, the displacement member 10 and the adjusting rod 17 can be released from their limits. The principle is easy to understand from the above content and will not be described again here.

[0065] In summary, the present invention can flexibly adjust the alignment of the contact detection component with the dividing holes 3 at different positions by adjusting the position of the displacement component 10 and the adjusting rod 17 relative to the detection cylinder 4, adapting to the dividing disc 2 with different numbers of dividing holes 3, and adapting to different distances of the dividing holes 3 from the disc center. The displacement component 10 and the adjusting rod 17 can be fixed and limited by simply rotating the threaded rod 7, improving the convenience of operation and improving production efficiency.

[0066] Setting up a single line status detection device ensures real-time line breakage detection for multiple lines during cage winding machine production. Multiple contact detection components can simultaneously detect multiple lines without interference. The nylon contact wheels of the roller assembly 20 continuously contact the line. When a line breaks, the conductive sheet 21 contacts the conductive contact 22 under the action of spring 19, instantly closing the circuit and triggering an alarm device that emits light and sound to quickly notify the operator. A stop signal is also sent to the control system via a wireless module, thus intelligently ensuring production safety. The line status detection device consumes no power during detection, only when a line breaks.

[0067] The components, modules, mechanisms, and devices in this invention that are not described in detail are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
